A little drama in the Karolina Pliskova vs Maria Sakkari Indian Wells match From what I can see, it looks like Maria’s racquet touched the ball & the point should’ve been awarded to Karolina. I still don’t understand why tennis doesn’t use video replay for stuff like this..
VIDEO: Controversy for Sakkari in Pliskova tie as racket seemingly touches ball heading out
WTAThursday, 16 March 2023 at 00:04
Maria Sakkari was embroiled in controversy on Tuesday as the Greek ace was accused of cheating by Karolina Pliskova as the Czech fell in the Last 16 at Indian Wells.
Pliskova refused to look Sakkari in the eyes during the handshake and this is why. During the third, she said that Sakkari touched the ball at the net on a point which looked to be heading out.
The video replay seemed to confirm this but the umpire didn't see it and Maria denied it. See for yourself below.
